CLAIM: Trump Doesn’t Have Enough Delegates To Quell Convention Revolt
WMAL ^ | July 7, 2016

CLEVELAND — (CNN) Donald Trump’s campaign still lacks a sufficient number of supportive delegates to guarantee that any revolt at the Republican National Convention could be put down, a key committee delegate says.

RNC Committeeman from Georgia and Rules Committee delegate Randy Evans, a lawyer who also works with the RNC and the Trump campaign, estimates that Trump has the support locked up of 888 delegates to Cleveland this month in the event of an effort to unbind delegates, leaving them free to vote for any candidate.

Readcentire article. They as much as admit chances of freekng delegates are slim to none with none vastly more likely.

The entire piece is just luberals and Rino’s playing with themselves.

I can’t think of a presidential winning scenario coming out of the convention if it is not Trump.

Seriously doubt this “revolt” will take place but what fun this could be. The people would rise-up and defeat the establishment GOP with a vengeance! Smack down!!!!! Great theater though.

The GOPe would be totally foolish to try to revolt against Trump. The PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN by the primary process.

"The PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN...Since when have we had to listen to the people?"

Republican Party - an extinct American political party that was founded by the Abolitionist Movement in the 1850’s and played a leading role in American politics before committing suicide in 2016.

“Who do the Anti-Trump people want for the nominee? Mitt, McCain, or Bush?”

Kasich.

They actually believe Kasich would have a better chance than Trump.

TID Kitty’s work is never done! First the Cruzbots, and JEBucites destroyed Trump in the Primary, and now they are going to destroy him at the Convention.

If the RNC is stupid enough to let this idiotic nonsense go one, then they can just forget their future entirely.... This would do nothing but hand the white house to Hillary, which in the end is what most of them want.

“It’s all for show.”

That’s completely my opinion, too. The centrists sincerely do not like Trump, and believe that for their own self-respect they need to make some sort of production of continuing to oppose him, but it is completely futile and most of them know it. This is a small group of self-appointed people, nothing to do with the RNC, and not the main body of the Republican voters, even those who supported someone else in the primary.

There should be revenge ballots of incumbent GOP pols this year. All of them. Not to late some places for newbies to primary them.

Conservatives and lovers of the Constitution must grab the country back this election or the grand experiment is gone.

No matter how busy, how old, how sick, how depressed talk talk talk to everyone you meet. Remind them of fact only Trump has a chance to save this country.

Only Trump has been willing to take on the Klintons.

The GOP rolled over long ago.

“If the #NeverTrumps succeed I will stay home.”

I will NOT stay home but will become a kamikaze voter if they succeed taking trump off the ticket.
I will vote for a libertarian President. I will vote against every down ticket Republican incumbent. I will be a “mad as hell, not going to take it any longer” voter.
I will NEVER again hold my nose and vote for Republican crap candidates.

I think it’s ALL for show. If Trump is allowed to be the nominee the election is rigged so he won’t win. Our votes aren’t even considered when “selecting” a president. But every four years “they” put on a show to make us believe we still have something to do with the way this country is run.

If Trump gets in I’ll re-think my cynical thinking.

I don’t believe this for a second. It’s just being said to convince other delegates that they won’t be walking the plank if the go over to the #nevertrump side. All spin.
